The Kentucky is the star component, being mildly woody and earthy, nutty sweet, while the molasses from the lightly nutty, earthy burley is a strong secondary player. They get minor support from the earthy, lightly fruit sweet Virginia, which accents the other components in nearly every puff, and not mentioned in the description. Not sure why this easily broken apart flake blend was called "strong" when it's mild to medium in strength and taste. Being from the mid-'80s, I imagine age diminished its potency. The nic-hit is a shade past being mild. Won't bite even if pushed. Burns at a reasonable pace with a very consistent cool, clean and smooth well balanced flavor to the finish. Requires few relights, and will burn to ash with little trouble. Leaves no moisture in the bowl. Has a nice after taste and room note. An easy to handle all day smoke that wears well during repeat performances.

When I saw a tin of this for sale on the secondary market, I looked around and could find out nothing about it. Still, since I tend to like 'strong dark flakes,' I thought I'd take the risk. It was advertised as being from the mid-80s. If so, then the seal must have been next to perfect; most was somewhat dried out, but around 25-30% was still fairly smokable. All the tobacco rehydrated very easily and most of the (short, thin) flakes were intact. The rehydrated flakes fold nicely.
The tin note on opening was pretty much just Kentucky, although some molasses overtones have developed since, which might be from a topping or just from age. I often get a bit of tongue irritation from pure burley blends, and that is just present here, but it is possible there is some VA in the blend somewhere. As for the taste, I would say it's like smoking a blend of 2/3 Peterson Irish Flake, 1/4 McClelland's 2035 Navy Flake, and a touch of Sir Walter Raleigh.
